A person has 300 feet of fencing to make a rectangle enclose. The person wants to use some fencing to split the enclose into 2 parts with a fence parallel to 2 of the sides. What dimensions should the enclose have to have max possible area?
I was stuck on this for a while.
I thought it was like a rectangle with a line in the middle
Then did 3l + 2w = 300
Then I got lost, I tried substitution but that just cancels the 300 which leaves me with 0
I think I did it all wrong.
Can anyone help?
